We have theoretically studied acoustic phonon spectra and phonon propagation in rectangular nanowires embedded within elastically dissimilar materials. As example systems, we have considered GaN nanowires with AlN and plastic barrier layers. It has been established that the acoustically mismatched barriers dramaticall…
The effect of treatment conditions on the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of A-site ordered PrBaMn2O6−δ manganites is examined. The parent oxygen-stoichiometric A-site ordered PrBaMn2O6 samples were prepared from oxygen-stoichiometric A-site disordered Pr0.50Ba0.50MnO3 ones by using a 'two-step' synthesis met…
The contrast mechanism for ferroelectric domain imaging via piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is investigated. A novel analysis of PFM measurements is presented which takes into account the background caused by the experimental setup. This allows, for the first time, a quantitative, frequency independent analysis o…
Manganese oxide electrodes of nanowire structure are electrochemically synthesized by cyclic voltammetric electrodeposition at room temperature without surfactant, catalyst, or template. Electrode morphology depends on the deposition potential, which greatly influences the electrochemical performances of the capacitor…
An estimated 500 million vehicles worldwide are equipped with an exhaust catalyst that uses platinum group elements (PGE) as the main active components and thus contribute to global PGE emissions. Although PGE emitted from automobile exhaust catalysts were first believed to remain in the roadside environment, we propo…
Room-temperature Mn K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies were carried out on La 1− x Sr x MnO 3+δ ( x = 0.1–0.9) compounds. It is found from the detailed EXAFS analysis that the local structure around Mn sites is different from the global structure inferred from x-ray diffraction, especially…
Combining the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism, we investigate the negative differential resistance effect in organic spintronics at low temperature and interprete it with a self-doping picture. A giant negative magnetoresistance exceeding 300% is theoretically predicted as…

Syntheses up to three generations have been achieved of biaryl-based amphiphilic dendrons with a charge-neutral pentaethylene glycol as the hydrophilic part and a decyl chain as the hydrophobic part. Studies on the temperature-dependent characteristics revealed that these dendrons exhibit a generation-dependent lower…
Arrays of sub-wavelength holes (nanoholes) in gold films were used as a substrate for enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy. Seven arrays of nanoholes with distinct periodicities (distances between the holes) were fabricated. The arrays were then spin-coated with polystyrene films containing different concentrations of t…
New electroactive supramolecular fibers have been formed by self-assembly of the derivatives of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) in liquid crystals. These derivatives are designed and prepared by introducing the TTF moiety to the scaffold derived from amino acids such as L-isoleucine whose derivatives function as organogelato…
Liquid foams can behave like solids or liquids, depending on the applied stress and on the experimental timescale. Understanding the origin of this complex rheology which gives rise to many applications and which resembles that of many other forms of soft condensed matter made of closely packed soft units requires cha…
Polycationic polymers are used extensively in biology to disrupt cell membranes and thus enhance the transport of materials into the cell. The highly polydisperse nature of many of these materials makes obtaining a mechanistic understanding of the disruption processes difficult. To design an effective mechanistic stud…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied in the diffusive transport regime. The peak mobility is found to scale with the square of the nanotube diameter and inversely with temperature. The maximum conductance, corrected for the contacts, is linear in the diameter and inverse temperature. These results…
The chapters in this volume are representative of the contributions presented at a symposium, New Polymeric Materials held in Capri, Italy, October 22-25, 2003 on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Frank E. Karasz.
The anodic behavior of nickel in Na2B4O7 solutions containing various concentrations of NaCl, NaBr, or NaI as pitting corrosion agents was studied using the potentiodynamic technique. In absence of the halide anions, the E/i curves exhibit active and passive regions prior to oxygen evolution. The passivity is due to t…
The transmetalation reaction between a sacrificial nanoparticle and more noble metal ions in solution has emerged as a novel method for creating unique hollow and bimetallic nanostructures. In this report, we investigate the possibility of carrying out the transmetalation reaction between hydrophobic silver nanopartic…
The magnetic behavior of epitaxial La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (LCMO) films grown on SrTiO3, with thickness down to 2.4nm, has been analyzed and correlated to the magnetoresistance (MR). Below about 10nm the canonical ferromagnetic order switches to a distribution of superparamagnetic clusters. These ultrathin films show a huge MR…
Abstract Blends of polyamide‐6 with 5, 7.5, 10, 15, and 20 wt % of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were prepared by the extruding in a corotating twin‐screw extruder. The extrudate strands were cut into pellets and injection‐molded to make test specimens. These specimens were tested for physico‐mechanical properties such as t…
[reaction: see text] The photochemical conversion of 9,10-deoxytridachione to photodeoxytridachione has been photosensitized. The conversion was also quenched by piperylene. Photodeoxytridachione was produced in good yields under conditions in which only the cyclohexadiene group is sensitized. The results show that so…
